sound for moving images

 

Score-to-Picture 

  • custom created scores for your moving images
  • live orchestral recording or amazingly real midi mockups
  • two in-house conductors for choral and orchestral 
    scoring sessions
  • part printing
  • working with dozens of fine, local musicians + singers for recording

Your film deserves a carefully crafted, unique soundtrack which enhances the picture and carries the creator’s vision for the story. 

During the spotting session, we view the picture and discuss with you
all key moments and emotional impacts required. 

We then agree on appropriate approaches to orchestration; do we need a 5 piece rock band, or a chamber choir and continuo? Maybe none of the above! 

Working with you and finding a sonic language that marries to the image is the challenge and magic of this side of film making. 

Whether you need on-set dialog recorded, an orchestral/choral concert, work in-studio, or score custom music to your film, WholeTone has you covered. 

Matt Stephanson has been working in audio for 20 years and is an audio
technician and instructor at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. 

Being a classically trained singer (M.Mus), and a technician gives Matt an edge when it comes to capturing the best take — especially during vocal
productions.
